Description

The Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica cmdlet sets or modifies a variety of properties for an availability replica. Run this cmdlet on the server instance that hosts the primary replica.

Examples

Example 1: Modify a replica availability mode and automatic failover

PS C:\> Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica -AvailabilityMode "SynchronousCommit" -FailoverMode Automatic -Path "SQLSERVER:\Sql\PrimaryServer\InstanceName\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG\AvailabilityReplicas\Replica02"

This command modifies the replica named Replica02 in the availability group named MainAG to use synchronous-commit availability mode and to support automatic failover.

Example 2: Modify a replica to support forced manual failover

PS C:\> Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica -AvailabilityMode AsynchronousCommit -FailoverMode Manual -Path "SQLSERVER:\Sql\PrimaryServer\InstanceName\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG\AvailabilityReplicas\Replica02"

This command modifies the replica named Replica02 in the availability group named MainAG to use asynchronous-commit availability mode and to support only forced manual failover, which could incur data loss.

Example 3: Allow all connections in the secondary role

PS C:\> Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica -ConnectionModeInSecondaryRole AllowAllConnections -Path "SQLSERVER:\Sql\PrimaryServer\InstanceName\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG\AvailabilityReplicas\Replica02"

This command modifies the replica 'Replica02' in the availability group MainAG to allow all connections in the secondary role. This lets you offload read-only data processing workloads to secondary replicas.

Example 4: Configure a primary replica and secondary replica for read-only routing

PS C:\> Set-Location "SQLSERVER:\SQL\PrimaryServer\default\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG"
C:\PS> $PrimaryReplica = Get-Item "AvailabilityReplicas\PrimaryServer"
C:\PS> $SecondaryReplica = Get-Item "AvailabilityReplicas\SecondaryServer"
C:\PS> Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica -ReadOnlyRoutingConnectionUrl "TCP://PrimaryServer.domain.com:5022" -InputObject $PrimaryReplica
C:\PS> Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica -ReadOnlyRoutingConnectionUrl "TCP://SecondaryServer.domain.com:5022" -InputObject $SecondaryReplica
C:\PS> Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica -ReadOnlyRoutingList "SecondaryServer","PrimaryServer" -InputObject $PrimaryReplica

The first command changes location to a location in the SQLSERVER: provider.

The second command gets the replica for the primary server, and then stores it in the $PrimaryReplica variable.

The third command gets the replica for the secondary server, and then stores it in the $SecondaryReplica variable.

The fourth command assigns a read-only routing URL to the primary replica. Then it sets the read-only routing list on the primary replica.

The fifth command assigns a read-only routing URL to the secondary replica.

The sixth command sets the read-only routing list on the primary replica. Connections that have with the ReadOnly property connection string are redirected to the secondary replica. If the secondary replica is not readable, the connection is directed back to the primary replica.

Example 5: Modify backup priority

PS C:\> Set-SqlAvailabilityReplica -BackupPriority 60 -Path "SQLSERVER:\Sql\Computer\Instance\AvailabilityGroups\MainAG\AvailabilityReplicas\Replica02"

This command sets the backup priority of the availability replica 'Replica02' to 60. This priority is used by the server instance that hosts the primary replica to decide which replica should service an automated backup request on a database in the availability group. The replica that has the highest priority is chosen.

Parameters

-AvailabilityMode

Specifies the replica availability mode. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • SynchronousCommit
  • AsynchronousCommit

You can specify a value of $Null.

Type:AvailabilityReplicaAvailabilityMode
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-BackupPriority

Specifies the desired priority of the replicas in performing backups. The acceptable values for this parameter are: integers from 0 through 100. Of the set of replicas which are online and available, the replica that has the highest priority performs the backup.

A value of zero (0) indicates that the replica is not a candidate.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ConnectionModeInPrimaryRole

Specifies how the availability replica handles connections when in the primary role. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • AllowReadWriteConnections. Allow read/write connections.
  • AllowAllConnections. Allow all connections.
Type:AvailabilityReplicaConnectionModeInPrimaryRole
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ConnectionModeInSecondaryRole

Specifies how the availability replica handles connections when in the secondary role. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • AllowNoConnections. Disallow connections.
  • AllowReadIntentConnectionsOnly. Allow only read-intent connections.
  • AllowAllConnections. Allow all connections.
Type:AvailabilityReplicaConnectionModeInSecondaryRole
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EndpointUrl

Specifies the URL of the database mirroring endpoint. This URL is a TCP address in the following form:

TCP://system-address:port

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FailoverMode

Specifies the failover mode. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • Automatic
  • Manual. You can specify a value of $Null.
Type:AvailabilityReplicaFailoverMode
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the availability group, as an AvailabilityGroup object, to which the replica belongs.

Type:AvailabilityReplica
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Path

Specifies the path of the availability group to which the replica belongs. If you do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet uses current working location.

Type:String
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ReadonlyRoutingConnectionUrl

Specifies the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) and port to use when routing to the replica for read only connections, as in the following example:

TCP://DBSERVER8.manufacturing.Contoso.com:7024

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ReadOnlyRoutingList

Specifies an ordered list of replica server names that represent the probe sequence for connection director to use when redirecting read-only connections through this availability replica. This parameter applies if the availability replica is the current primary replica of the availability group.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Script
